Walking and Parks

This is part of my walking mini-series. It’s a Sumerian-like map of my morning walks. Some of the places on the map show you where I picked up significant things. For example where I picked up the Monopoly set which started my Kimonopoly series.
In case you’re in any doubt, the word “walk” is spelled out for you.
This one has a few parks marked. One of the joys of Newtown, Erskineville and Enmore is the pocket parks. They are no doubt a nightmare for councils to mow, but it’s lovely to find a tiny park every now and then, in the oddest places.
